About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for brunch
  • Good for business meals
A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

    The food was mediocre at best at a $100 per person Mother’s Day brunch. Good sounding items but executed cheaply. Scallops were very tiny, crab cakes had little taste, donuts were completely soaked in oil, tuna poke was literally just a big pile of tuna (no avocado or anything else). It felt like a gross money grab for mother’s day.

    We went to Easter brunch today. It was a pleasant experience. The food was great and the service even better. Good prime rib, salmon, and sides. There was a wait for lamb chops. Karen, our server, was very attentive and accommodating. We enjoyed the crab, avaocdo salad for starters and dessert was very good. Definitely recommend a visit.

    Restaurant seemed to be understaffed. I asked for pepper and was told they do not have any, but was offered chili flakes instead????

    While in DC recently for a family trip, this was one of our restaurant reservations. It was hands down my favorite place that we ate at. Our server was excellent (I wish I remembered his name). I got the ribeye and it was amazing. I wish I had taken a picture before I devoured it! The Havana margarita was awesome, and the sorbet was delicious also. Next time I am in DC, I am sure to return here!
